I wouldn't say that one book is better than the other. It really depends on what you are looking for. The Gross-Loh book is more recent and she talks about using either disposable or cloth and part-time or full-time EC. Bauer is a more attachment parenting approach to EC and other matters with children.

Maybe read them both and decide for yourself which you prefer.

I think all of their links are broken. They don't go anywhere but the front page.

shoot! Yeah, when I went back, I had the same trouble too, I did get into other pages thru the link about pictures and birth stories, but that's about it. Anyway, this website was/is by Kelley, the lady who created Kozy Karriers. You can get to her website from this page - and you can also get to her blog from the Kozy website... but she only has one post about EC, so it's not too relevant, maybe Sorry!

Great resources for EC. I need to get a grip on it before the babe arrives in December. Thanks!!!

I will have to look at the early potty training one, I read a book that sounds similar. "Diaper free before 3" by Jill Lekovic. I love love love it. It recommends starting at 6 months which I don't agree with, but it helped us recently. He isn't totally crawling yet and will still sometimes go over the sink, but he hasn't gone over the big potty in awhile. i read that book and started using the smart potty lately (baby bjorn) and things are going well. Still not through the crawling phase, but it has helped us transition from in arms to sitting. I find that it very clearly sets a pattern to follow, and so far, I can see ds following it quite clearly so I can really see where we've been and where we are, and what steps we are currently working on. Also, it's a more modern approach, she also advocates disposables, cloth too, but she herself used disposables. The thing with the Ingrid Bauer book that I found, is that it isn't quite a good fit for the "modern" western woman.... I don't think it would be acceptable in my neighborhood if I were to take my boy out of a carrier and pee him in the neighborhood! Bauer's take on that is pretty much "get over it."

Another book is EC Simplified by Andrea Olson. It's been updated, too! Takes a step by step approach and has lots of pics to help you with positioning the baby at different stages of development. It's the only one I've read so far but it's really helpful. She's also on Facebook and has her own website: www.ecsimplified.com
